process management

This paper examines whether blockchain distributed ledger technology could improve the management of
trusted information, specifically considering data quality. Improvement was determined by considering the
impact of a distributed ledger as an authoritative source in TD Bank Group's Enterprise Data Quality
Management Process versus the use of standard authoritative sources such as databases and files.
Distributed ledger technology is not expected, or proven, to result in a change in the Data Quality
Management process. Our analysis focused on execution advantages possible due to distributed ledger
properties that make it an attractive resource for data quality management (DQM).

Interactive applications have changed dramatically over the last 15 years. In the late ‘90s,
large web companies emerged with dramatic increases in scale on many dimensions:
· The number of concurrent users skyrocketed as applications increasingly became accessible
· via the web (and later on mobile devices).
· The amount of data collected and processed soared as it became easier and increasingly
· valuable to capture all kinds of data.
· The amount of unstructured or semi-structured data exploded and its use became integral
· to the value and richness of applications.
Dealing with these issues was more and more difficult using relational database technology.
The key reason is that relational databases are essentially architected to run a single machine
and use a rigid, schema-based approach to modeling data.
Google, Amazon, Facebook, and LinkedIn were among the first companies to discover the serious
limitations of relational database technology for supporting these new application requirements.
Commercial alternatives didn’t exist, so they invented new data management approaches
themselves. Their pioneering work generated tremendous interest because a growing number of
companies faced similar problems. Open source NoSQL database projects formed to leverage the
work of the pioneers, and commercial companies associated with these projects soon followed.
Today, the use of NoSQL technology is rising rapidly among Internet companies and the
enterprise. It’s increasingly considered a viable alternative to relational databases, especially
as more organizations recognize that operating at scale is more effectively achieved running on
clusters of standard, commodity servers, and a schema-less data model is often a better approach
for handling the variety and type of data most often captured and processed today.

Ever since organisations started to implement packaged software solutions to solve business problems and streamline their processes there has been a need to access their data for the purposes of reporting and analytics, integration, governance, master data and more. Information Management projects such as these rely on data professionals being able to understand the underlying data models for these packages in order to be able to answer the critical question “Where’s the data?”. Without this knowledge it is impossible to ensure accuracy of data or timely delivery of projects. In addition the lack of discovery tools designed to meet this challenge has meant that performing this task has commonly been frustrating, time-consuming and fraught with risk. This white paper offers insight into why the traditional methods are not effective and how an innovative software product from Silwood Technology provides a faster and more effective approach to solving the problem.

With information streaming in from more varied sources and at a faster pace than ever before, organizations are having an increasingly difficult time deriving accurate meaning from their data. Data governance systems that were once able to organize and process enterprise information are becoming too slow and limited.
Semantic information management makes it easier to reconcile data from different sources by compiling and organizing information about that data, its metadata. By connecting all kinds of data and metadata in a more accessible way, semantic information systems empower users, data stewards and analysts to unlock and use the true meaning and value of their organization’s data.
Learn more about the challenges in the evolving data landscape and how a semantic approach can help.

The landscape of Scalable Operational and Analytical Systems is changing and disrupting the norm of using relational databases for all workloads. With the growing need to process and analyze Big Data at Scale, the demand for alternative strategies has grown and has given rise to the emergence of NoSQL databases for scalable processing.
Mike Ferguson, Managing Director of Intelligent Business Strategies, is an independent IT Analyst who specializes in Big Data, BI/Analytics, Data Management and Enterprise Business Integration. In this whitepaper he will discuss the movement towards NoSQL databases for scalable operational and analytical systems, what’s driving Big Data analytics from Hadoop to the emergence of Apache Spark, the value of operational analytics and the importance of in-memory processing, and why use Apache Spark as your in-memory analytical platform for operational analytics.

David Loshin reexamines the way we ingest, manage, consume, and transform data into actionable information and intelligence. Read how this industry expert makes the case for data governance with an unconventional business-first focus.
The conventional wisdom on data governance proposes hierarchies, operating models, and processes for data policy definition and implementation. Unfortunately, poorly-designed and minimally-planned data governance processes are ineffective because they are bureaucratic and overwhelming. This is especially true when processes are imposed by fiat, take a long time, and don't result in any short-term improvement in information value.
But proper data governance is a critical success factor for master data management! In this paper, we examine the motivations for coupling data governance with master data management and consider how to evolve data policies and processes to position master data management for success.

The discipline of data quality assurance ensures that data is "fit for purpose" in the context of existing business operations, analytics and emerging digital business scenarios. It covers much more than just technology. It includes program management, roles, organizational structures, use cases and processes (such as those for monitoring, reporting and remediating data quality issues). It is also linked to broader initiatives in the field of enterprise information management (EIM), including information governance and master data management (MDM)

Challenge:
A global insurance group wanted to standardize its HR systems for recruitment, on-boarding and talent management for all geographies, while moving from on-premise to cloud.
Solution:
We harmonized processes across different countries by implementing Oracle Human Capital Cloud in consultation with “challenger groups” drawn from each geography. By creating a solution centrally, and then demonstrating and implementing it globally, we achieved greater standardization, a modernized employee experience, and reduced operational workload for HR and line-management.
Outcomes:
• Collaborated with stakeholder groups across 50 different entities and 30+ countries to design the HCM solution for the future
• Rolled out the new system to over 90,000 employees in 30 countries
• Implemented entirely new recruitment system; moved to paperless office for core HR operations
• Better ROI by moving to SaaS based model; improved employee experience through personalization and mobile-enabled HCM

"The new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the most important change in data privacy regulation in 22 years and it will have a profound impact on every organization that relies on the storage and processing of personal data of EU citizens. Starting May 25, 2018, the penalties begin for noncompliance, with GDPR fines of up to 4% of annual global revenue or 20 million euros - whichever is greater.
As this new regulation also impacts Veeam®, we wanted to share our insights on our road to compliancy. In a new executive brief, GDPR: 5 Lessons Learned, Veeam Compliance Experience Shared, we walk through these lessons and share how our software played a critical role within data management and protection strategies to ensure we remain compliant while delivering Availability for the Always On Enterprise™."

Metadata Management is the process of ensuring that all metadata associated with a digital asset is captured, organized, stored and made available for use by and within other applications. Metadata Management begins at the moment the digital asset is created by an application or captured by digital imaging.
